#CAST OF MOVIE MAC AND ME SERIES#

When Rudd appeared as a guest on Late Night to promote the show, he offered to play an exclusive clip from the series finale, only to prank the audience with the Mac and Me video. Katie Holmes writes, directs and stars in this minor-key rom-com set in 2020.

The bit dates all the way back to 2004, when O’Brien was hosting Late Night With Conan O’Brien on NBC and Rudd had just finished taping the highly anticipated final episode of Friends. Our film critics on blockbusters, independents and everything in between. Sure enough, the clip is instead a scene from the 1988 film Mac and Me - a poorly-received E.T. knock-off - where the wheelchair-bound character played by Jade Calegory rolls off a cliff into a lake as the alien MAC looks on. In the middle of the interview, Rudd showed up from behind the curtain and told O’Brien that he had a clip from the sketch’s dress rehearsal. O’Brien was interviewing Bill Hader on the Monday night show when the conversation turned to a never-aired Saturday Night Live sketch that Hader did with Rudd. CastEdit Christine Ebersole as Janet Cruise Jonathan Ward as Michael Cruise Tina Caspary as Courtney (credited as Katrina Caspary) Lauren Stanley as Debbie. for the rest of you out there, I recommend this movie only if you're looking for new additions to your Ten Worst List.Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show Conan is coming to an end this week, and it wouldn’t be a proper send-off without a final rendition of what is arguably the show’s most iconic bit: Paul Rudd’s Mac and Me prank. Jonathan Ward, Tina Caspary, Jade Calegory, Katrina Caspary, Christine Ebersole, Lauren Stanley Clearout Deal. Saps only will buy into laughable hunk of junk. Yeh, that happens at the Greasy Mac's on Route 1 near my house every freakin' day. Here, the filmmakers fell just short of subtitles at the bottom of the screen that said 'LAUGH HERE' and/or 'CRY NOW.' And the cherry atop Stewart Rafill's bile sundae? The scene inside a McDonald's (Our aforementioned sponsor) when normal, everyday patrons suddenly and spontaneously spring to life into a choreographed dance sequence. Not only is the plot just a poor carbon copy, but even the title of this attrocity becomes an act of thievery when it's revealed that 'Mac' stands for 'Mysterious Alien Creature.' I'm not even the biggest fan of uber-cutesy 'E.T.' either, but at least there the attempts at manipulation are somewhat subtle. I also have to make a point of just how much of a rip-off of 'E.T.' this film was. And the alien creatures of the film, with their bug-eyes and protruding bellies, look about a life-like as melted candles. The script clunks and thuds with every ridiculous, uninspired line. Wooden posts would have made for better actors. Next, there are basic things that make a film 'good,' like strong acting, a well-written script, superior camerawork or quality special effects. The product placement in this film is shameless. First, let's reiterate that point about this being an extended commercial. And forgive me, but anybody who finds this 95-minute commercial for McDonalds and Coca-Cola to be warm-hearted or well done in any way knows not a thing about what makes a movie good, and needs a great deal of emotional counseling. Bad like 'Showgirls' bad, where it's so bad, it's both insulting and laughable simultaneously. But this poorly done film made its way onto one of my cable movie channels last night, and I feel the need to have a violent, outward reaction outside of the projectile vomiting I experienced.

I know it's a little silly to write a review of a film 15 years after its release.
